You're worried about these animals, but make no mention of the cruelty of keeping a Beluga Whale in captivity in an earlier post. How about you mention the thousands of dolphins awaiting slaughter or captivity in Japan - and then say how wonderful it is to swim with dolphins?

Perez and team-how disappointing. I always expect you to be aligned as a Liberal on social issues, including equality issues, environmental issues, animal rights, etc, etc. Because it's Drake/Nikki, you become passive. If this were Gaga, you would have thrown the book at her. Sad. The mistreatment of the caliber of animals described in this story (a lion) is sad and dangerous, not only due to potential harm of an african big cat, but also due to the potential harm of a human being. THINK before you post articles judging too harshly or becoming passive on important issues because of personal relationships.
